This is a non-proprietary Cryptographic Module Security Policy for the Juniper Networks MX304 Universal Router Platform and EX4100-48MP, EX4100-24MP, EX4100-24P, EX4100-24T, EX410048P, EX4100-48T Ethernet Switches, hereafter referred to as the cryptographic module.
The cryptographic module is designed to meet FIPS 140-3 Level 1 overall. The table below shows the security levels claimed for each section of the security requirements. Section Title Security Level
Overall Level 1 Table 1: Security Levels
Purpose and Use: Juniper Networks MX304 Universal Routing Platform is a cloud-era platform that cost effectively addresses the evolutionary edge and metro Ethernet needs of service providers, mobile operators, web-scale operators, and multiple-service operators (MSOs). The Juniper Networks EX4100 line of Ethernet Switches offers a secure, cloud-ready portfolio of access switches ideal for enterprise branch, campus, and data center networks. This FIPS 140-3 validation includes the MX series router model MX304, and the following EX series switch models: EX4100-48MP, EX4100-24MP, EX4100-24P, EX4100-24T, EX4100-48P and EX410048T. The cryptographic module runs Junos OS, Juniper’s reliable, high-performance, modular network operating system that is supported across all of Juniper’s physical and virtual routing, switching, and security platforms.
The cryptographic module provides for an encrypted connection, using SSH, between the management station and the module. The cryptographic modules also provide for an encrypted connection, using MACsec, between devices. All other data input or output from the modules are considered plaintext for this FIPS 140-3 validation. Module Type: The cryptographic module is a Hardware cryptographic module. Module Embodiment: The cryptographic module is defined as a MultiChipStand module that executes Junos OS 22.4R2 firmware on any of the identified Juniper Networks devices. Module Characteristics: There are no additional characteristics relevant to this module. Cryptographic Boundary: The Tested Operational Environment Physical Perimeter (TOEPP) is defined as the outer edge of the chassis. The chassis is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses all components of the device. The cryptographic boundary encompasses the entire TOEPP. The cryptographic module is FIPS-compliant when installed and configured with Junos OS 22.4R2 validated firmware as specified in section 11.1. The physical form of the module is depicted in Figures 1 to 14. Figure 1

The module supports concurrent operators but does not support a maintenance role and/or bypass capability. The module enforces the separation of roles using either of the role-based operator authentication methods in Section 4.1. The Cryptographic Officer role configures and monitors the module via a console or SSH connection. As root or super-user, the Cryptographic Officer has permission to view and edit secrets within the module. The User role monitors the module via the console or SSH. The user role cannot change the configuration.

The module does not offer any non-approved services. N/A for this module.
The module includes a firmware load service that is used to install the Junos OS firmware image as part of installation of the module, as described in Section 11.1. The loaded firmware is a complete image replacement and constitutes an entirely new module and version of Junos OS which would require a separate FIPS 140-3 validation.
The cryptographic module implements a firmware integrity self-test that uses ECDSA P-256 with SHA2-
256 to ensure the integrity of all Junos OS firmware components. The self-test is automatically run on
The firmware integrity test can be run on demand by the module’s operator by power cycling the module.
Type of Operational Environment: Non-Modifiable The module consists of hardware containing a non-modifiable operational environment as per the FIPS 140-3 definitions. It includes a firmware load service to support necessary updates. The loaded firmware is a complete image replacement and constitutes an entirely new module and version of Junos OS which would require a separate FIPS 140-3 validation.
There are no security rules, settings, or restrictions to the configuration of the operational environment beyond the initialization instructions to set the module in Approved mode.
The module’s physical embodiment meets Level 1 Physical Security requirements. The module is completely enclosed in a rectangular nickel or clear zinc coated, cold rolled steel, plated steel and brushed aluminum enclosure. There are no ventilation holes, gaps, slits, cracks, slots, or crevices that would allow for any sort of observation of any component contained within the cryptographic boundary.

Table 21: SSP Zeroization Methods The Zeroize CLI command method is detailed in section 11.2.3. The completion of zeroization is indicated implicitly. If the zeroization is initiated using a zeroization command or explicit delete command, completion of the command indicates that zeroization has successfully completed. If the zeroization is initiated by power cycling the module, then successful reboot of the module indicates that zeroization has completed successfully. In the case of zeroization initiated by session termination, SSPs are zeroized when the session terminates, and session termination is indicated in the log.
All SSPs used by the module are described in this section.

The following transitions apply to algorithms used by this module: SHA-1: The SHA-1 hash algorithm will be non-Approved for cryptographic protection purposes after December 31, 2030.
On power up or reset, the module performs the pre-operational self-tests and the indicated conditional cryptographic algorithm self-tests described below. All KATs must be completed successfully prior to any other use of cryptography by the module. The CASTs for algorithms utilized in the pre-operational Firmware integrity check are performed prior to the Firmware integrity check.

The only way to exit from this state is to reboot the module, which causes the selftests to be repeated and pass successfully before the corresponding algorithms are usable.
Self–tests that are performed at power-up are available on demand by power cycling the module.
The module must be correctly installed and configured to enter a FIPS compliant state and operate in the Approved mode. The required procedures are as follows:
1. Download the validated firmware image from https://www.juniper.net/support/downloads/junos.html. Log in to the Juniper Networks authentication system using the username (generally your e-mail address) and password supplied by Juniper Networks representatives. Select the validated firmware image. Download the firmware image to a local host or to an internal software distribution site. The cryptographic module devices use the following firmware images MX304 junos-vmhost-install-mx-x86-64-22.4R2.8.tgz EX4100 junos-install-ex-arm-64-22.4R2.8.tgz
To configure the device for the Approved mode:
CAUTION: Perform system zeroization with care. After the zeroization process is complete, no data is left on the device. The device is returned to the factory default state, equivalent to a fresh installation of the firmware, without any configured users or configuration files. After zeroizing the system, the module is no longer in a FIPS compliant state. (Installation and configuration as per section 11.1 is required to enter the FIPS compliant state and enable the Approved mode of operation). NOTE: The Crypto-Officer must retain control of the module while zeroization is in progress. To zeroize the device:
No specific non-administrator guidance is required to operate the module.
The module design implements the following security rules:
The following are requirements for compliant usage of the module: 1. The cryptographic officer must retain control of the module while zeroization is in process.
No special maintenance requirements are required.
When disposing of the cryptographic module, the cryptographic officer shall perform the zeroize command as described in Section 11.2.3.
The module does not implement mechanisms to mitigate other attacks beyond what is described in this security policy.
